EDIT: As of October 24, LSAC says that Sonoma should now be compatible with Prometric’s servers.

Yesterday, we posted an important heads-up on the 7Sage blog for Mac users who are taking the October or November LSAT remotely. I've pasted the article below:

"For anyone planning to take the October or November LSAT remotely, you need to know about a compatibility issue. Prometric, LSAC’s digital testing provider, currently does NOT support macOS Sonoma, Apple's newest operating system.

If you're considering updating your Mac, hold off and remain on macOS Ventura before your exam.

Double-check your Mac's version in About this Mac. Make sure it reads “Ventura.”

If you’ve already upgraded to Sonoma, you have a few options. The most convenient is to borrow someone else’s computer to take the LSAT. If you can’t borrow a computer, you can use an external SSD as a startup disk and format it to run macOS Ventura. If you’re on an Intel mac, you can also use Bootcamp to install Windows to take the LSAT.

Whether you've opted to use another computer, Bootcamp, or an external drive, you should verify your setup's compatibility using the Prometric Testing tool and LSAC Lawhub.

Best of luck, autumn test-takers!"

    I already updated my macbook to MacOS Sonoma and am registered for the January test. Does anyone know if I can take the January test with MacOS Sonoma?

    @noramiller47 Is there any indication that Prometric will work to resolve the issue before the November testing dates? I've tried to contact their support but it is basically non-existent.

    We haven't heard any indication that Prometric will be able to resolve the issue before November. Our advice is to proceed as though they won't.

    Wow... this doesn't seem okay. What if someone is unable to borrow, bootcamp, or purchase an external hard drive? This seems like something they should have to address or make accommodations for on their end.

    ^ someone please address this question. Is Monterey okay?

    According to ProProctor, here are the system requirements:

    "Windows 8.1 or MacOS 10.13 to 12.6.5 and Ventura 13.3.1 and above are supported. Important: MacOS Ventura 13.0 to 13.2.1 are not supported; please upgrade to 13.3.1 before testing."

    Monterey, I believe, is macOS 12.0–12.6.7.
